amazing breakfast yummy menu easy communication sealed windows dark room noisy landing
The breakfast was AMAZING! they had a super yummy traditional menu plus some extra fancy options. communication with the staff was easy. They even gave a quick call before. i found nice treats in my room when i got there. the rooms decoration were cool, and it had a fan which was a major win because it was so warm.
i stayed for just one night and wanted something a bit special, but the room was a little dark for my taste. the windows was also sealed shut, it felt stuffy. the landing outside had no carpet, this made the noise from other guests bit of a problem.

Acceptable but Overpriced
high price lack of service
The location was convenient, with access to the city center. The room was well-decorated and generally tidy.
I felt the experience was overpriced for what it offered. I never found a reception desk despite it being a bed and breakfast (this were great. The promise of cake and milk upon arrival was not fulfilled, and later requests for them were also ignored.

refined stay
friendly staff tasty breakfast well-kept room
the communication regarding check-in worked well. i found the room to be nicely decorated and well maintained. the breakfast offered was tasty and copious. all the staff displayed friendly and skilled service.
i found the secondary glazing insufficient, as it didn't completely block street noise. internal noise also matched the age of the hotel. a group smoking outside the front door upon my return late at night felt off-putting.

the hotel is centrally located within the city. it allows easy access to many attractions. walking to the cathedral and adjacent green grounds is convenient and enjoyable given the proximity.
